Like the title says, does anybody know anything about this barrel? I really like it, and I may buy it.

Here's a link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3616068748&category=16046

Thanks.

EDIT: I know i'm a noob, but what's the purpose of a 2 piece barrel? Can you take off the first piece and attach the second piece so you have shorter barrel? thanks.

That barrel looks like it is designed more for looks than performance wether thats true or not i don't know because i have never tried it b4. I would however recommend the cp 1 piece barrel which is $10 cheaper and garrentee to give you solid performance. 2 piece barrels, some of them you can remove the backs for different bore sized backs. The front is usually what makes the length of the barrel. 2 piece are usually more expensive.

The 3A barrell is sweet. Got one for an Excellerator 6.0 (spyder Thread) and it is a awesome barrell. It has great performance and is fairly quiet. I have shot all stars and Zap Primers and Dusks threw it and shoots all paint extremly well. i hope this helps.

3A stuff are crappppp....dont even buy ANYTHING from them. All the stuff they said, mirco hone tolerance and aircraft aluminum is nothing special, all barrels are made with the same metal and has a better micro hone finish then the 3A barrels.

I'm assuming none of you haven't actually used it. I bought a brand-new 14-inch for my rebel and it works great...of course, this is the first non-stock barrel i have used on my rebel, but distance and accuracy is increased drastically.

3A is a disgrace to paintball in general. They have cutesy little anime' chicks in little clothing all over the place. Kinda nasty and juvenile if you ask me. How the heck are people going to accept paintball into mainstream sports if they think we're all a bunch of pervs with guns? For the love of God could we show some respect to women?

Thats reason #1 i hate them

reason #2.

The sell crap, and then don't fix it. <--- thats bad

reason 3.

They manipulated the ratings that their tank recieved on this site. A unregistered user with the same IP address put in tons of 10's for their busted nasty crap tanks. ...unacceptable

3A might make Crappy Tanks and Whatever it may be but the barrells arent made the same why from what i prefer. I have a 3A Barrell and it shoots extremely accurate. I have played with a wide variety of Barrells and id say that the 3A is just as accurate as any All American i have played with thats for sure. So Talk mad crap about their tanks and etc. but unless you have used the barrell dont diss but so much.

I guess you're right, but I won't be buying anything from them anytime soon. It's "barrel" not "barrell", lol

should I throw in that I saw a kid put one on his marker and shoot nothing but spray due to a bur inside the barrel?

I win :D

thats my opinion
